Vintage German Style Beer Mugs Steins Set of 4 Ceramic Relief Made in Japan

Unbranded / Made in Japan
German Style Relief Beer Steins
Vintage Mid-Century (c. 1950s-1970s)

This is a lot of four vintage ceramic beer mugs or steins produced in Japan during the mid-20th century. These pieces exemplify the popular German-style aesthetic produced for the export market. The set includes two distinct, highly detailed relief scenes: two mugs feature a couple in traditional Bavarian-style dress, and the other two depict a charming alpine village scene. The hand-painted details and faux-wood grain handles add to their rustic character.

• Set of 4 includes two matching pairs with different scenes.
• Features intricate, raised relief molding and colorful hand-painted accents.
• Clearly marked "JAPAN" on the bottom, indicating post-war export production.
• Each mug has a substantial feel with a glossy, ochre-colored glaze on the rim and base.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs. The colors remain vibrant and the glaze is glossy and intact. There may be some very minor shelf wear on the unglazed bottoms, consistent with their age. These steins display beautifully and are great examples of this collectible style.
